Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of electricity meter technology, specifically relating to an electricity meter that is easy to maintain. Background Technology

[0002] An electricity meter, also known as a kilowatt-hour meter, is an instrument used to measure electrical energy. It measures various electrical quantities and is widely used in households, businesses, and industries to record and monitor electricity usage for billing and energy management. Battery testing is crucial for routine maintenance of electricity meters. However, removing the battery in existing meters often requires multiple steps, making it inconvenient and hindering quick battery replacement. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electricity meter that allows for convenient maintenance.

[0003] A patent with publication number CN221765563U discloses a replaceable power meter, which includes a meter body, a rotating plate, a first magnetic block, a second magnetic block, a limiting plate, a limiting groove, a rotating plate, and a lifting spring. When the battery needs to be removed, the rotating plate is rotated to disengage the first and second magnetic blocks. Then, the limiting plate is pulled to slide into the limiting groove. Immediately afterwards, the rotating plate, under the action of the lifting spring, applies force to the battery, causing the battery to be pushed out by one corner for easy removal.

[0004] However, the above solution requires not only rotating the rotating plate but also pulling the limiting plate before lifting one corner of the battery. The numerous steps increase the complexity of the operation, undoubtedly increasing the difficulty and time cost of operation. It is not convenient to quickly remove and replace the battery, and the practical effect is generally poor. Utility Model Content

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described below are only some, not all, of the embodiments disclosed. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an energy meter with convenient maintenance includes an energy meter body 1. The energy meter body 1 has a battery slot 2 for placing a battery and two limiting slots 16. The two limiting slots 16 are symmetrically arranged. The battery slot 2 is equipped with positive and negative metal welding pieces (not shown in the figure).

[0022] A cover plate 3 is slidably installed between the two limiting grooves 16, and the cover plate 3 slides to block the battery groove 2. The energy meter body 1 is provided with a limiting component that acts on the cover plate 3.

[0023] The limiting component includes a locking block 6. An installation groove (not marked in the figure) is opened on the main body 1 of the electricity meter. The locking block 6 is slidably set in the installation groove, and the first spring 5 is fixedly set in the groove. One end of the locking block 6 is fixedly connected to the first spring 5, and the other end of the locking block 6 is set with a smooth arc surface. Two slots 4 are opened on the cover plate 3. The smooth arc surface end of the locking block 6 is engaged with the slot 4 in a transmission engagement.

[0024] Furthermore, a groove 15 is provided on the main body 1 of the electricity meter, and a slider 14 is fixedly provided on the cover plate 3. The slider 14 and the groove 15 are in a limiting sliding cooperation, which not only improves the stability of the cover plate 3 when sliding, but also presses the battery to improve the stability of the battery after installation.

[0025] A top plate 13 is slidably ejected from the battery compartment 2. A sliding block 7 is slidably installed in each limiting groove 16, and the sliding block 7 is driven by the top plate 13 through a transmission component. Limiting blocks 18 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cover plate 3. The limiting blocks 18 correspond one-to-one with the limiting grooves 16 and one-to-one with the sliding blocks 7. Each limiting block 18 is both slidably installed in the corresponding limiting groove 16 and in contact with the corresponding sliding block 7.

[0026] The transmission component includes a rotating shaft 12. A placement groove 17 is opened inside the energy meter body 1. The placement groove 17 and the limiting groove 16 are connected in a one-to-one correspondence. A fixing rod 8 is fixedly installed inside the placement groove 17. A sliding block 7 is slidably sleeved on the fixing rod 8. A second spring 9 is sleeved on the outer surface of the fixing rod 8. One end of the second spring 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement groove 17, and the other end is fixedly connected to the sliding block 7.

[0027] In addition, a connecting seat 11 is provided in the placement groove 17 for limiting sliding, and the connecting seat 11 is fixedly connected to the top plate 13; a connecting rod 10 is provided between the connecting seat 11 and the sliding block 7, one end of the connecting rod 10 is hinged to the sliding block 7 through the rotating shaft 12, and the other end of the connecting rod 10 is hinged to the connecting seat 11 through the rotating shaft 12.

[0028] Working principle: When the battery needs to be replaced, slide the cover plate 3 to the outside of the energy meter body 1. With the help of the sliding cooperation between the locking block 6 and the slot 4, the locking block 6 is disengaged from the slot 4 and the first spring 5 is compressed, thereby releasing the restriction on the cover plate 3 and exposing the battery in the battery slot 2.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 When the cover plate 3 slides, it will cause the limiting block 18 to slide synchronously in the limiting groove 16. During the sliding process, the limiting block 18 will come into contact with the sliding block 7. After the two come into contact, the limiting block 18 will push the sliding block 7 to slide in the direction of compressing the second spring 9, so that the connecting seat 11 rises under the pull of the connecting rod 10, thereby causing the top plate 13 to slide out and lift up one corner of the battery.

[0030] At this point, the locking block 6 is aligned with another locking slot 4, and thus, under the push of the first spring 5, it locks into the locking slot 4, thereby limiting the position of the cover plate 3. Subsequently, the maintenance personnel can simply remove the battery and replace it.

[0031] When installing the battery, place the battery in the battery slot 2, with one end of the battery on the top plate 13. Press down on the end of the battery on the top plate 13, using the battery to push the top plate 13 downward, causing it to reset. The reset of the top plate 13 will pull the sliding block 7 to slide within the limiting groove 16, thereby pushing the cover plate 3 through the limiting block 18, causing the cover plate 3 to slide a short distance into the meter body 1. At the same time, the locking block 6 will slide out from the locking groove 4 and compress the first spring 5 downward.

[0032] After the battery is installed into the battery slot 2, the battery and the positive and negative metal welding plates of the battery are in contact. Then, the cover plate 3 is pushed to reset. After the cover plate 3 is reset, the locking block 6 will be opposite to the initial locking slot 4. With the help of the first spring 5, the locking block 6 is pushed to re-lock into the locking slot 4 and fix the cover plate 3, thereby completing the battery replacement.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
